[There is a gate on the Plane. It's a rather eerie-looking gate, lopsided and leaking odd shadows. Just from looking at it one would get a sense of fear and evil. This is a Demon Gate, and the creatures around it are clearly the ones that give it that name.]

[There are four of them. Two of them look like enormous koi fish, draped in ragged kimonos and soaring through the air on blade-like fins. A third looks like a huge flower bud, with four legs, a spiked tail and an oni mask. The fourth looks a bit like a decaying crane, and is also wearing an old and worn kimono, an umbrella wrapped in one wing. Surrounding the demons and the Demon Gate is a sickly red light, in which Japanese characters flicker like ghosts.]

[In the middle of it all is Amaterasu. She looks nothing like the sweet, even-tempered goddess everyone knows and loves; her expression is one of pure wrath, lips peeled back over vicious white teeth, hackles raised, fur on end. Her fur is spattered with blood, some of it red, the rest black and green. She's darting around inside the red shield almost faster than the eye can follow, a shining white light among the screeching demons. The mirror on her back is streaking out as if it has a mind of its own, tearing into the demons. There's a slash of ink and one of the fish lets out a shriek as it is cut clean in half, bursting into flowers as it disappears. Amaterasu has already moved onto the next fish, letting out a terrible roar as she leaps into the air and cuts its wings apart, bringing it to the Plane floor.]

[This is the other side of Amaterasu--the wolf, the hunter, the warrior.]

{Shiki is simply watching from a distance, but her knife is drawn}

[There is a horse standing at the edge of the shield-circle, whites showing all the way around its eyes, quaking in absolute terror. She's fitted into a elaborate turnout blanket, black with gold floral embroidery and tassles at the edges.]

[There is also a sword hilt and the top of a scabbard showing from a sleeve on one side of the blanket.]

[Yeah, someone has been going overboard with horsey care.]

{Simply, as her eyes change color and she's able to see the lines} I'm not worried.

[She's still not moving, locked in place by total mental breakdown at the reek of the demons and the nose-clotting stink of blood.]

{And it fades once it's gone, but she keeps watching, quite interested}

[And everyone's favourite Mu is there in a heartbeat, cloth on, and gathering his Cosmo ready to defend her should she need it.] Amaterasu!

[She shies at the sound of the crane dying, stumbles, confused by the temporary burst of floral scent immediately wiped out by the demonic smell again. She whinnies faintly, starting to feel dizzy with panic.]

Aim for its neck, right below the skull.

{Shiki isn't sure if she can hear her, but with any luck, Amaterasu would be able to hit the line that Shiki saw there}

[The Doctor was coming through the forest to find Aniki and check on her. Last he knew she was here, at least. His eyes go wide when he sees all the action, though.

Quick calculations: Aniki is panicked, Amaterasu handling the demon but seems a bit tired.

The Doctor chooses to keep Aniki out of the way and goes to the horse's side. He'll help Amaterasu if she needs it but for now he'll be stroking Aniki and trying to keep her calm and away from the fight.]

It seems troublesome.

[She buries her face against him, accidentally shoving at him with a good deal more force than intended. She's shaking, liable to bolt at any moment, the comfort of his presence a veneer over her panic.]

[The wave of calm that comes with the rush of flowers is the only thing that keeps her from dragging away from the Doctor and RUNNING AS FAST AS SHE CAN. Under the sweet smell of flowers she can still detect the powerful odor of a predator. She knows the smell. Wolf. This smells like BIG wolf, and the reek of demon blood still clings to her.]

[FFFFT! Curses! Helpless, he stands there with his hands lightly against the shield, waiting for a weakness in it to exploit, or the shield itself to fall.]
